Does anyone know other than Simon Buckner & N B Forrest whose descendants fought in future wars . Buckner’ s son was killed at Okinawa !
Pretty much the rule....Audie Leon Murphy had Confederate ancestors..one a Curtis Gill, who was with Vaughn's Tennesseans. If memory serves me right. I was a member of the Dockerys of Dixie at one time and Murphy's sister and also I believe his niece were members.N.B. Forrest had a descendt AAF member. My own family and others have served since the Civil War, it's not that uncommon.

Oh, and I forgot to mention, eerily enough, he died on July 6, 1962 at the age of 64...the "Old Colonel's" birthday...William Cuthbert Faulkner, the writer, was the great-grandson of Colonel William Clark Falkner
